The Master's Lodge, Trinity College, Cambridge. - Two twin grandsons born at the Lodge yesterday: George Macaulay and Humphry Bennett; they and Molly are doing very well. George and Janet are going to stay in the gardener's cottage at Hallington 'as usual in war time' tomorrow. Hopes they will see Bob in Cambridge this summer.

The Master's Lodge, Trinity College, Cambridge. - Thanks 'Auntie Bess' for her 'jolly letter', which went up to Hallington in the letter to 'Mummy T' [Janet]. Agrees with Mr Badley now her two boys have been born, but would have been happy with a boy and a girl as providing a brother for Tommy. The government has gave her 120 pre-natal coupons, and she now has [ration] books for both twins. G[eorge] and H[umphry] look very different from each other; she is alternating their feeds, with the nurse bottle-feeding in between, and the doctor is pleased with them. Has had a long rest in Cambridge, having left the rest of the family behind; will be very glad to return, after almost eight weeks. Hopes all the Trevelyan cousins will meet one day: Tom, Philip and the twins could have 'great gambols together'; wonders how soon they will 'all forgather at Wallington of a summer', as their fathers did. Bessie must find it an 'eternal joy' to have Philip with her; hopes the Bluths will have some pictures of him.

Addressed to Julian at 26 Trinity Street, Cambridge. - Is going to Oxford next Monday, and will come to Cambridge by train from London on Tuesday, probably arriving at 1.17. Not sure where he should stay; supposes George would put him up but he could perhaps go to the Blue Boar. Can get lunch at a restaurant if it is inconvenient for Julian to feed him. Notes in a postscript that the Pirandello play is no longer on.
